Review from Elaine K.

I came here with my family to celebrate my birthday with some dim sum. I was quite surprised to find that they were actually able to accommodate my usual family birthday dinner during lunch time. That meant Peking duck and lobster at noon! (we're a fancy people)
The Peking duck was quite good, though one family member thought the patries were too thick. I thought they were just fine. The lobster was also pretty good, and they actually brought it out while it was live so we could... confirm that it was real, or bless it or something. I don't remember anything else really, but I enjoyed the meal.
The location is quite modern, a far cry from the grungy pink and green decor of my youth. It looks like most Chinese restaurants are heading this way, even those with really good food at cheap prices. Confusing.
Nothing really stood out for me here, but it was all pretty tasty. I tend to choose dim sum places more on proximity than the food, since they more or less all seem the same to me, so I might come back if I were in the area. -

House of Garden took over which is use to be Full House Chinese Cuisine (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
The layout of the restaurant remain pretty similar but a minor makeover was done with new light fixtures, new flooring inside of those sticky old carpeting and new tables and chairs.
The menu has similar offerings as a lot of Cantonese Congee/Noodle restaurants but with additional of Cantonese entree dishes.
Chiu Chow Congee with shredded chicken and oyster clams ($5.25)
- We were pleasantly surprised with how good this Chiu Chow Congee is
- only place I been to add so much different garnishes
- really strong and intense flavour
Vermicelli with Preserved Sour Vegetables and Beef ($7.95)
- Did not look too promising when it was presented to us steamy hot
- But it tasted much much better than it looks!
- the beef was quite tender and the vermicelli soaked up all the sauce make it so tasty!
Chinese Broccoli ($4.25)
- I don't understand why they can mess up this simple dish... Veggie was so overcooked it tasted mushy...
- I just want my veggie to be cooked... not turn into baby food!
Since the restaurant is quite new, the wait staffs here are not really attentive and they kept messing up our orders...
There is lunch specials (11:00 to 3:00 PM) for $5.99 that comes a drink.. and for afternoon Tea is from 2:30 to 5:30 PM..
They accepts Cash only!
